Co-existence of acute transverse myelitis and Guillain–Barré syndrome associated with<i>Bartonella henselae</i>infection

Abstract

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a benign, self-limiting condition associated with Bartonella henselae. Neurological manifestations are uncommon. Acute transverse myelitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome have been reported rarely with CSD. This report describes a 12-year-old boy with acute transverse myelitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome associated with CSD.
